0:44 Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta. Yes, we all want God to give us direction for our life. We want to move in the area that God has for us. Maybe you want to make a decision with regard to your personal life, your career, your ministry, or your goals, your marriage, your relationships, anything under the sun, in any area of where you're saying, I want God's guidance. I want God to lead me. I want God to direct my steps. I want God to tell me which is the right way that I need to go. And we would allow for God to give us a to set of the plan.

1:29 We would love for God to tell us everything. But I was just thinking about this. I want to start up by sharing our important words with you, and then I want to give you an important anectoe to help you understand this. It's found in Genesis twenty two. It's a moment when God calls Abraham, and God is saying, Abraham, I want you to take your son, your only son, Isaac, and I want you to offer him as a sacrifice in the region of Moriah, in one of the mountains that I will show you in the region of Moriah, and one of the mountains I will show you this is Worse two of Genesis twenty two.

2:10 Now I wanted to understand God was giving him an assignment. God was giving him an important task. And it is a very strenuous task. It's not easy physically exhausting, it can be mentally draining, it can be emotionally like a big package that he has to carry. It's not easy for anybody leave alone Abraham, anybody for that matter, who was in this kind of a state to go and sacrifice their only son, not knowing what's could happen. But at such a point of time, God is saying, you know what, how do you go to the region of Moriah.

2:46 He's not even telling him which mounted He's not telling him. You see, it's like God giving you a direction, saying I wanted to climb one of the mountains in the Himalayas, one of the mountains in the Alps, one of the mountains in any other mountain, rains in the world. God is If God says like that, you'll be like God, you know what, do you know how many mountains are there? God, how you're already asking me to do something very strenuous. You're asking me to do something very difficult. The least or the

3:17 most important thing you I wish you would do is tell me which mountain? If you would just give me all the details right away, so then I will know this is the place I need to go, so that I'm not wandering just like that. And here is a classic movement when God is selling Abraham go to the region of Morea, but God is not selling which mountain. And I was wondering, why God is not give that detail? Why can't you give the detail? Now? There are different aspects to this. And then one of the things that I wanted to share today, there's different things I've spoken about before, but I wanted to share about one important key today why God is not giving all the details.

3:56 And I was thinking that when I need to, I will from a place A to go to a destination B. What happens is like I put on Google Maps or I ask somebody for direction, and if they tell me go straight, go take a left and then the second right, and then you keep going straight and after an intersection you have to keep heading on the road as it goes on the right, and keep going as it diverges into a different section. And then if they give all the direction details, what has going to happen is after they finish giving you all the details, you're going to be confused.

4:31 You're not going to have the right mind to say, okay, fine, thank you for the full direction. Right now, what do I do? You'll start breaking your head, You'll start trying to remember what the person said. So what we do is when you ask for direction, you say tell me which region how to go to this region? Or you may say, okay, I know to go to this region, so let me go to this region. And after I go to that region, let me ask the specific direction that I need to go what I mean. You if if I'm going from a city, like in the city, if I'm going from a place A to place B, right, I would say, Okay, how do I go to this area?

5:13 Let me get to that area first. Let me get to that place first. Let me get to that region first. After I get to that region, then I asked for direction, or then I checked on Google Maps to see, Okay, now where do I go, whether or go to the left or to the right. Because you know what, if I start asking a to set of all the details on if I get all the details, I'm going to be confused. If Abraham had to be told by God, I want you to go to Mountain number three hundred and eighty four in coordinate numblah blah blah blah blah blah.

5:45 Just imagine. Okay, just a funny case. But from the beginning he would be like thinking, well, I need to go to coordinates. This is to coordinate, this is the direction. Blah blah blah blah blah. He might even forget it by the time he reaches He's pretty old already, right, So you see the thing is this God gives us directions step by step. He's not going to give you eight es it of all the details, and sometimes it's good, and for the most part it's good because if he were to give you all the details right in the beginning of the journey, you will get confused, you will not understand, you will not remember, you will forget.

6:24 And that's why it's important to say, God, you know what you tell me step by step, and so giving me a forty year plan, give me the plan for the next forty minutes, I think that will be a better choice, Like what do you want me to do now? And see you see, I'm all in for a long term planning and having a vision for our life and all of this stuff. Okay, I have a vision for the ministry. I have a lot of plans, but I'll tell you what as days go by. One thing I've learned and one thing I can tell you is you can plan all you want, but it's the Lord who has to make things happen, and he will make things happen only at his time, and sometimes our plans just don't work because it's not his timing, it's not his way.

7:07 And so the best thing to do is instead of saying, you know what, this is my adz planum. This is how I'm going to strike to this level. I'm going to go to this place. He is of doing that. Just say, God, what do you want me to do? Now? Okay? God is saying, okay, go to the region of Moraya, go to this place, and then I'll tell you the next step. What should be done? If I'm going from a city to another city, get to one point and then ask, oh, what's this the next step to take? Even when you look at for Samuel chap To sixteen, when God was giving the instruction to profit Samuel to annoint the next king of Israel, what happens.

7:48 He says, go to the household of Jesse, where I'm going to annoint one of the next Suns. He gives Jesse's name, he gives the region to go, but he doesn't give him the son's name. But after he goes in lines up the Suns. When he's about to make him, Aga intervene and God, this is not the one. This is not the one. This is the one. What I mean, that's the way God will lead. He's not going to give you eight zid of the planet, but he will lead you step by step by step and today, I pray that you will have the constant fellowship with the Lord, communion with him.

8:25 Where you are saying, Okay, God, let me take the first step. This is what you want me to do. Let me move towards the region of Mariah. Let me move towards Jesse Sauce. Then when you get there, God will give you the next direction. He will lead you step by step to take you to where you need to go. Amen, God bless you.

9:50 If your heart stops beating, now, do you know where you're going? If you came face to face with death? Now do you know where you're going? And this is not a message of condemnation. This is a message of hope. There is a God who loves you so much he sent his only son, Jesus Christ to come down and pay a heavy price by shedding every drop of his blood on the cross. Thank you for dying for my sins. When you believe in Him, you have free gift or salvation for you that it shows us that we will go to heaven when we die instead of suffering in hell forever.

10:30 I'll just encourage you today to make the simple step of fate and say, Jesus, I thank you for what you did on the cross. Thank you for giving me this gift of eternal life.
